Hannah Waddingham, Lily James, and Priyanka Chopra Dazzle in White as They Steal the Show at Wimbledon Semis

On Thursday, Hannah Waddingham and Lily James stole the spotlight on Wimbledon Day 11 as they attended the electrifying women’s semi-finals at Centre Court.

Hannah, known for her role in “Ted Lasso,” exchanged her football gear for tennis attire with a stylish twist, donning a low-cut white waistcoat paired flawlessly with tailored trousers in the same hue.

The actress completed her ensemble with a blazer gracefully draped over her shoulders, exuding sophistication despite the rising temperatures in London.

In contrast, Lily James embraced a fashionable afternoon in the Royal Box, choosing a snug white polka-dot maxi dress for the occasion.

The “Mamma Mia” actress, aged 37, accentuated her look with stylish tinted sunglasses and a luxurious £2,900 Prada handbag as she sought out her exclusive VIP seating under the sun’s warm rays.

Gabby Logan, 53, stood out amongst the Wimbledon white ensembles in a pink shirt dress, with statement puff sleeves.

The star was then spotted cheering wildly during Coco Gauff’s semi-final 

She will play in her first Wimbledon semi-final, seven years after her debut at the London tennis tournament at the age of 15 when she beat Venus Williams in the legendary tennis upset.

Gauff will take on Czech Karolina Muchova, the 10th seed, who beat Elise Mertens earlier in the week. 

Muchova comes into the semi-final with 10 wins in 11 on the grass this season, whilst ahead of Wimbledon this year Coco had zero grass-court wins since 2024. 

Following the Gauff, Muchova clash is the other women’s semi final which sees Linda Noskova face Marta Kostyuk. 

Elsewhere on Thursday is the mixed doubles final, with the all-Australian pair of Marc Polmans and Storm Hunter facing El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo and Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko.
